DEVONtechnologies, LLC has released a maintenance update for all editions of its information and document manager DEVONthink, as well as for its smart notebook app DEVONnote. The maintenance update to version 2.7.3 adds import from BareBones Yojimbo and website export for compressed iWork documents to all editions of DEVONthink. Both DEVONthink and DEVONnote filter items in smart groups or through the advanced search not only by date but also by date plus time, if needed. Users fighting an uphill battle against the email flood using DEVONthink Pro Office will like the performance and reliability improvements of email archiving in version 2.7.3.

Also, all editions of DEVONthink now shorten long document names in menus, better handle database-like file formats such as Scrivener files, and improve the way Quick Look panels are shown. The AppleScript support in DEVONthink Pro and up has been enhanced, too, and all scripts been made more future-proof. And finally, as always, the updates fix a number of usually harmless bugs and improves the overall performance.

“Free maintenance updates are part of our company culture. Even when we’re working on larger, paid upgrades there is always a bug fix or minor feature that we feel is important to our users right now. And so our users can expect to receive free updates with fixes and improvements for our apps on a regular basis”, comments Eric Bohnisch-Volkmann, President of DEVONtechnologies.

DEVONthink and DEVONnote require an Intel-based Mac and OS X 10.6.8 or later (in the App Store: OS X 10.8.3 or later). They can be downloaded from http://www.devontechnologies.com and be test-driven for free before they need to be properly licensed. DEVONthink Personal and DEVONnote are also available via the App Store.
